Adding "page X of Y" in header/footer not working when used in macro

I've created a little macro (simply by recording my actions), and among the intended functions is to prepare the document for printing (setting margins etc.). It's also supposed to add in a "Page X of Y" in either the header or footer, but it always just shows "1 of" and then nothing. Below is what the recorder recorded. In my research I found that there is some kind of bug concerning macros and the header/footer, but couldn't find a solution. I also read that the "Application.PrintCommunication" can cause some trouble, so I deleted all of those lines (replace with blank), but it caused the macro to return an error. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
Code: 
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .PrintTitleRows = "$1:$1"
        .PrintTitleColumns = ""
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .LeftHeader = ""
        .CenterHeader = ""
        .RightHeader = ""

        .CenterFooter = "&R"
        .RightFooter = ""

I appreciate the pain, I haven't been able to resolve this myself

you might try .ScaleWithDocHeaderFooter = False

Try

Code: 
Sub PgNo()
 ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
 With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .LeftHeader = "Page &P of &N"
        .LeftFooter = "&C"
        .CenterFooter = "&R"
        .LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.236220472440945)

        .FirstPageNumber = xlAutomatic
        .Order = xlDownThenOver
        .BlackAndWhite = False
        .Zoom = False
        .FitToPagesWide = 1
        .FitToPagesTall = False
        .PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed
        .ScaleWithDocHeaderFooter = True
    End With
    'Application.PrintCommunication = True
End Sub
